*BOOT Party - 2027 General Elections Aspirants Participation Guidelines & Fees*

01 May, 2026

> Introducing BOOT Party's Trust Before Ticket™️ Framework - PRESIDENT Trust Before Ticket ₦500,000,000

The BOOT Party Trust Before Ticket™️ Framework is an Institutional Framework for Candidate Integrity and Accountability "Trust Before Ticket means accountability before power, and responsibility before representation."

The Trust Before Ticket Framework supports transparency, accountability, and equal opportunity for credible leadership participation ahead of the 2027 Nigeria General Election.

The BOOT Party's message ahead of 2027 is clear: Nigeria does not need recycled political habits under new branding. It needs a new political culture rooted in integrity, discipline, and responsibility.

Trust Before Ticket represents a deliberate effort to move away from informal politics toward a system where:

• leadership is earned
• loyalty is expected
• accountability is enforced

It reinforces the party's long-standing position that a political ticket is not a gift—it is a contract of trust.

Boycotting the 2027 General Elections Is Not the Answer -

SonnyAdenuga

Calling for an election boycott over an Act passed by the National Assembly is comparable to a football team asking for a tournament to be suspended because some players are injured. While the rules may create difficulties, the appropriate response is to adapt, compete, and push for improvements—not withdraw from the democratic process.

Instead of boycott, the BOOT Party calls on the government and electoral authorities to provide institutional resource support and a fair compliance framework that allows all political parties to meet the new regulatory requirements ahead of the 2027 elections.

*Remembrance Must Mean Responsibility: Nigeria Must Treat Its Soldiers Better*

15 Jan, 2026

https://boot.org.ng/reboot/2026_Remembrance_Day/

As Nigeria marks the 2026 Armed Forces Remembrance Day, the National Chairman of the BOOT Party calls on the Federal Government to move beyond ceremonial tributes and confront the real and persistent welfare challenges facing Nigerian soldiers and their families.

Today, we honour the courage of our fallen heroes who paid the ultimate price in defence of Nigeria's territorial integrity. We salute the men and women currently serving on the front lines, and we stand in solidarity with their families who share in the sacrifice. The BOOT Party wishes the Nigerian Armed Forces a solemn and respectful Remembrance Day.

However, remembrance without responsibility is hollow.

Nigeria's military history since independence reflects sacrifice under difficult circumstances, including long years of conflict, internal security breakdowns, and the devastating rise of terrorism. Over the past decade alone, thousands of Nigerian soldiers have lost their lives combating violent extremism fuelled by prolonged economic hardship, social dislocation, and governance failures. Their bravery is unquestionable; the treatment they receive in return is not always justifiable.

While Nigerians have witnessed improved momentum in counter-terrorism efforts since late 2025, following renewed leadership in the defence sector, progress on the battlefield must be matched with progress in barracks, hospitals, and soldiers' homes. Welfare remains the weakest link in Nigeria's defence architecture.

The BOOT Party identifies the following critical issues confronting military personnel and veterans:

* Delayed and unpaid pensions forcing retired soldiers into hardship
* Inadequate access to quality healthcare for serving and retired personnel
* Poor housing and living conditions for military families
* Insufficient mental health and trauma support for troops exposed to prolonged conflict
* Weak institutional support for families of fallen and injured soldiers

These are not privileges; they are obligations.

To address these failures, the BOOT Party calls on the Federal Government to urgently implement the following measures:

1. Clear all outstanding military pension arrears and digitise pension administration to ensure timely, transparent payments.
2. Increase and index military salaries and pensions to inflation to protect families from rising living costs.
3. Guarantee comprehensive healthcare coverage for serving personnel, veterans, and their dependents, including trauma and rehabilitation services.
4. Establish a National Veterans and Military Families Support Programme covering housing, education scholarships, and employment transition assistance.
5. Prioritise mental health services through dedicated counselling, reintegration, and family support units within the Armed Forces.
6. Improve barracks and family housing nationwide through transparent, audited infrastructure programmes.
7. Strengthen parliamentary oversight with an annual public report on military welfare and veterans' affairs.

A motivated, respected, and well-cared-for military is not a cost to the nation; it is an investment in national stability and security.

On this Remembrance Day, the BOOT Party reiterates its commitment to advocating for policies that place soldiers and their families at the centre of national defence planning. Nigeria must prove — not merely proclaim — that it values those who defend her.

*Remembrance must mean responsibility.*

*Happy Armed Forces Remembrance Day to our gallant troops — past and present.*

Yours sincerely,
Sonny Adenuga

*A Safer Nigeria, A Fairer Economy: Our 2026 Commitment - A 2026 New Year Message*
_As we step into 2026, let us rededicate ourselves to the core values of peace, justice, and inclusive economic progress. Let us insist on leadership that listens as much as it speaks, and serves as much as it governs. Above all, let us remember that our tomorrow is not a distant dream — it is built today, through the choices we make, the policies we champion, and the bonds of unity we strengthen._

Dear Elders, Sisters and Brothers,

As we usher in the dawn of 2026, I extend my heartfelt greetings to every Nigerian at home and in the diaspora. This is a moment to reflect on our shared struggles, celebrate our resilience, and boldly recommit ourselves to the promise of a Nigeria that works for all — a Nigeria *Because Of Our Tomorrow.*

The past year was marked by deep economic hardship for millions of families. Inflation remained stubborn, insecurity persisted across our communities, and far too many young Nigerians faced uncertainty instead of opportunity. We witnessed heart-breaking episodes — from terror attacks on innocent citizens to recurring threats against our schools, markets, and places of worship. At the same time, renewed efforts by the Nigerian military, including recent operations supported by international cooperation against terrorist enclaves in parts of the country, remind us that security is not merely a policy objective, but a moral imperative.

Yet, despite these challenges, Nigerians continue to stand tall. Mothers care for their families with limited means. Young people innovate and create even when opportunities are scarce. Communities come together to protect one another when institutions designed to do so fall short. This enduring spirit — our collective will to persevere — must fuel our resolve in 2026.

The BOOT Party firmly believes that true progress begins with security and dignity for every citizen. We reject narratives that excuse violence or shift blame without accountability. We call on all levels of government to implement coordinated, transparent, and effective security strategies that protect lives — not just generate headlines. We also urge the pursuit of long-term economic reforms that prioritize job creation, support small and medium-scale enterprises, and empower communities to thrive without fear or desperation.

However, government alone cannot carry this burden. Real national renewal demands active citizenship — Nigerians who hold leaders accountable, engage in informed debate, and resist the politics of division, distraction, and empty theatrics — what many have come to describe as _*kasongo-styled politics*_. We urge every citizen to remain vigilant, not only in criticism but in constructive participation.

As we step into 2026, let us rededicate ourselves to the core values of peace, justice, and inclusive economic progress. Let us insist on leadership that listens as much as it speaks, and serves as much as it governs. Above all, let us remember that our tomorrow is not a distant dream — it is built today, through the choices we make, the policies we champion, and the bonds of unity we strengthen.

May this New Year bring true hope, genuine progress, and lasting peace to every corner of our beloved nation.

*Happy New Year, Nigeria*

Yours sincerely,
*Sonny Adenuga*

*WHITE PAPER*
*Why Rushing a November Election and Unprepared Electronic Result Transmission Threaten Nigeria's Democracy*
_Prepared for Stakeholders Responsible for Electoral Governance, Policy Oversight, and Democratic Processes in Nigeria_

Released on: Mon, 01 Dec, 2025

https://boot.org.ng/reboot/WHITE_PAPER_Why_Rushing_A_November_Election/

*INTRODUCTION*

Nigeria stands at a defining crossroads. Electoral reform is necessary, and technology can strengthen our democracy—but only when thoughtfully introduced, transparently tested, and backed by infrastructure that is resilient, secure, and professionally governed.

Today, two major proposals are before the National Assembly:

1. Shifting future general elections to November, and
2. Making electronic transmission of results by BVAS a legal mandate, rather than an operational guideline.

These proposals are significant. Yet, in their current form, they carry risks capable of undermining electoral credibility rather than improving it—especially because the internet infrastructure required for electronic transmission is not controlled by INEC, the body responsible for elections.

The BOOT Party, wishes to present this white paper to your office and lawmakers with a clear warning: If we fail to address these technical, legal, and operational gaps, the proposed reforms may create a perfect storm of disenfranchisement, confusion, and contestation.

*1. THE NOVEMBER ELECTION DATE: A HIGH-RISK CHOICE*

*1.1 November is Still a Flood-Prone Month*

For southern and riverine states—Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, parts of Ondo and Lagos—the rainy season often extends into October and November. Floods regularly destroy roads, isolate communities, disrupt transport, and displace voters.

Moving elections to November means:

• Polling materials may not reach thousands of polling units
• BVAS devices may be exposed to moisture, power instability, and transport barriers
• Entire local governments may be inaccessible on election day
• Turnout could decline unevenly, creating regional disenfranchisement

*1.2 "Early Voting" in the Bill Excludes the Nigerian Public*

The bill proposes special-day voting—but only for:

• Security personnel
• INEC staff
• Essential workers

This is not the early voting system used by countries that protect citizens from weather disruption.

The general electorate receives no early voting option.
Thus, November elections could suppress turnout for millions while offering no compensatory early-voting mechanism.

*2. THE 2023 BVAS EXPERIENCE MAKES CAUTION NECESSARY*

In 2023, INEC introduced:

• BVAS for accreditation and result imaging
• IReV for result upload and public access

These were guidelines, not legal mandates.

Yet the deployment saw:

• Outages
• Device failures
• Inconsistent network coverage
• Delayed uploads
• Public distrust fueled by unclear technical explanations

Instead of resolving these issues, the new bill proposes to elevate electronic transmission into law—binding the entire system to internet infrastructure that INEC does not own, control, secure, or manage.

This is a dangerous mismatch.

*3. THE CORE DANGER: INEC DOES NOT CONTROL INTERNET INFRASTRUCTURE*

*3.1 Electronic Transmission Depends on:*

• Mobile network operators (MNO) like MTN, Glo, Airtel, 9mobile.
• Internet exchange points
• Fibre backbones
• Satellite and microwave links in remote areas
• Spectrum allocation policies
• Cybersecurity standards for telecom operators

None of these are managed by INEC.

*3.2 National Communication Commission (NCC)—not INEC—Governs:*

• Network quality of service
• Service reliability
• Spectrum and base-station deployment
• Security compliance standards
• Disaster preparedness in telecom networks

*3.3 Mobile Networks are Vulnerable to Outages, Congestion, and Device Compromise*

CERT-FR's 2025 global threat assessment shows:

• Mobile devices are high-value attack targets
• Supply chain attacks are increasing
• Network-layer compromise is possible
• Criminals and state actors actively exploit mobile vulnerabilities

BVAS is a mobile-based device depending on networks subject to these threats.

*3.4 If the Law Mandates Electronic Transmission but Does Not Mandate Infrastructure Obligations for NCC and MNOs:*

Nigeria risks:

• Partial transmission
• Network-based disenfranchisement in rural or flood-affected areas
• Device manipulation or denial-of-service attacks
• Legal crises from missing, late, or corrupted uploads
• A repeat or worse version of the 2023 credibility challenge

Electronic transmission cannot be guaranteed unless infrastructure providers are legally bound to provide the required uptime, security, and nationwide readiness.

*4. WHAT THE PROPOSED LAW MUST CLARIFY TO AVOID DISASTER*

1. NCC must be legally responsible for ensuring telecom networks meet election-day reliability and security standards.
2. MNOs must be mandated to:
• Provide priority traffic channels for INEC
• Guarantee minimum network availability in all polling units
• Publish pre-election coverage mapping and live status portals
3. Infrastructure failures must trigger clearly defined contingency mechanisms, not ad hoc improvisation.
4. The law must specify who is accountable when transmission fails—INEC, NCC, or the MNOs.
5.INEC's technical limits must be explicitly recognized; the body should not be blamed for failures caused by telecom infrastructure outside its control.
6. In the event of any inconsistency, conflict, or discrepancy between the manually recorded polling-unit result and the electronically transmitted result for the same polling unit, which is the source of truth.

Failing to define these responsibilities means INEC will be legally bound to deliver a process it does not technically control—a formula for post-election crisis.

*5. A UNIFIED TECHNICAL CHECKLIST*

_*(For INEC, NCC, Mobile Network Operators, and Lawmakers)*_

*A. For Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)*

• Complete independent cybersecurity audits of BVAS, IReV, and firmware
• Conduct national mock elections with full transparency
• Publish device supply-chain documentation
• Ensure all devices have offline, verifiable, cryptographically signed storage
• Maintain paper EC8A as the legal ground truth
• Publish polling-unit readiness certification before election day
• Establish real-time technical incident dashboards accessible to observers

*B. For National Communication Commission (NCC)*

• Define election-day Quality of Service (QoS) thresholds
• Mandate mobile operators to build election-priority channels
• Enforce redundancy requirements (dual fibre routes, microwave backup)
• Require pre-election network tests in all polling units
• Publish network outage, congestion, and attack reports
• Oversee election cyber-defence coordination with national CERT teams

*C. For Mobile Network Operators (MNOs)*

• Provide nationwide coverage maps specifically for polling units
• Create dedicated election traffic lanes with congestion protection
• Ensure backup power at base stations in high-risk zones
• Implement hardening of mobile backhaul infrastructure
• Provide secure SIM and certificate management for BVAS devices
• Maintain 24/7 election engineering support war rooms

*D. For Lawmakers*

• Write explicit responsibilities for INEC, NCC, and MNOs into law
• Require continuous independent testing before mandating national rollout
• Legally guarantee paper audit trails
• Provide funding for emergency infrastructure in flood zones
• Clarify legal implications for delayed or failed transmissions
• Ensure early voting applies to citizens in flood-affected LGAs—not only special groups.
• Write into law the source of truth in the event of any inconsistency, conflict, or discrepancy between the manually recorded polling-unit result and the electronically transmitted result for the same polling unit.

*6. CONCLUSION: NIGERIA MUST NOT SWAP ONE PROBLEM FOR ANOTHER*

Technology can strengthen our elections, but technology deployed without due diligence weakens them.

A November election exposes millions to logistical and weather risks.
A legally mandated electronic transmission system—dependent on fragile, untested public internet infrastructure—exposes the entire country to technical and cyber security risks.

Nigeria must not legislate enthusiasm.
Nigeria must legislate competence, preparedness, and accountability.

As the BOOT Party, we call for:

• A safer election date
• Clear, enforceable obligations for all infrastructure providers
• Transparent testing
• Realistic timelines
• And a credible system that Nigerians can trust

Democracy is not strengthened by speed.
Democracy is strengthened by reliability, fairness, and public confidence.

_Education should never be a battlefield. Schools must be safe spaces for learning, not zones of fear. The abduction of school children is not only a criminal attack—it is a direct assault on the nation’s soul, our values, and the collective future we are striving to build._

The BOOT Party expresses deep sorrow and outrage over the tragic killing of a vice principal and the abduction of twenty-two (22) innocent school girls in Kebbi State. This horrific attack is yet another painful reminder of the escalating insecurity threatening the lives, dreams, and futures of Nigeria’s children.

On behalf of the BOOT Party and its entire membership across the nation, the National Chairman conveys heartfelt condolences to the family of the slain vice principal, the affected school community, and the people of Kebbi State. We stand in solidarity with the parents and families of the abducted school girls during this moment of unimaginable anguish.

Education should never be a battlefield. Schools must be safe spaces for learning, not zones of fear. The abduction of school children is not only a criminal attack—it is a direct assault on the nation’s soul, our values, and the collective future we are striving to build.

The BOOT Party strongly condemns this senseless act of violence and calls for:

1. *IMMEDIATE AND COORDINATED RESCUE EFFORTS* to ensure the safe return of all abducted girls without delay.
2. *ENHANCED SECURITY ARCHITECTURE* around schools, especially in vulnerable communities across the country.
3. *SWIFT INVESTIGATION AND PROSECUTION* of those responsible for this heinous crime.
4. *A NATIONAL SECURITY OVERHAUL*, with emphasis on intelligence-driven operations and community-centered early warning systems.
5. *INCREASED SUPPORT FOR VICTIMS AND AFFECTED FAMILIES,* including trauma care, counselling, and financial assistance.

This tragedy underscores the urgent need for leadership that prioritises human security, protection of children, and the sanctity of education. The BOOT Party remains committed to advocating for a Nigeria where no child is forced to choose between education and safety.

We call on the Federal and State Governments, security agencies, traditional rulers, and civil society organisations to unite in action and purpose. Nigeria cannot continue to normalise tragedy.

Our thoughts and prayers remain with the victims. We demand justice. We demand accountability. We demand the safe return of our daughters.
